Nute Gunray Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Enter the Matrix is, in all honesty, the worst game I have played since some Colecovision game decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I believe Nute... the only way games like this survive is because of all the Matrix hype going around ppl don't realise how much the game actually does suck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I love it. It was just to short. I beat it in like 4 hours. That's a lil quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Originally posted by TK-421 I doubt he has even played it. haha. That game is awsome. I got it the day it came out. I wish I could say there was something I liked about it, but that would force me to lie. Anyone that liked it must have been playing a different game than I did. I found it to exceedingly frustrating, poorly executed, and all around poorly done. It doesn't have the Matrix "feel." Objectives are poorly described. The fighting is awkward. And the game is generally too dark lightingwise. Even with gamma and brightness maxed in game it's too dark to really see where you're going when you're driving (which is probably the worst part of the game). Grand Theft Auto with the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack is more Matrixy than this game is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ColecoVision game do you have in mind when you say this? I probably have it around here someplace. I think I owned most of them before they closed up shop.

Taos Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 So is this game worth getting or what? o.O I think I'd rather spend my money on the MOH: AA platinum edition that is coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 save your money, only for short thrills, most likely get bored of it after a little while like I do with most games... that's why I'm keeping my game collection to only the BEST when choosing games for my GCN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I kinda just used the Colecovision thing as a clever way of saying "worst game ever that wasn't ET." I do remember playing with a Colecovision waaaaay back but I dont' remember any of teh games at all. I almost bought an Intellivision at a yard sale a few years ago. I wish I had.

edlib Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Fair enough. The Intellivision had great graphics (at the time) but seems to barely warrant a footnote in the pages of console gaming these days. I don't know anyone who actually owned one. It's biggest problems were: 1.) It's controllers were totally bogus. Even the planet's biggest Intellevision fans would tell you this. 2.) Weird game titles. Unlike Atari or Coleco, Mattel had no contracts with any of the major cabinet arcade game makers, so almost all of the titles available were originals,.. or cheap, half-assed knockoffs of popular games. 3.) Little to no 3rd party support. Thousands of companies sprung up overnight to produce games and alternate hardware for the Atari 2600, and the Coleco had fairly solid support for a while too,.. but it never seemed anybody went too far out of thier way for the Intellivision. I'm sure there must have been a few, but I suspect that Mattel had stricter licencing contracts, which may have killed tham in the end. 4.) It was more expensive than the Atari. Less expensive than the Coleco,.. but the Coleco had better graphics and sound when it came out... plus lots of versions of "Real" arcade games. Hey, it came bundled with Donkey Kong for cryin out loud! Still, I remember there were a few games for it that I would have killed to own, and that I wished would be ported over to one of the machines I had. I think a few were eventually.

Nute Gunray Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 After investigating, I believe the Colecovision game I played was "Jumpman." When I was a wee lad, I remember wanting an Atari 5200. I believe it was the largest video game system ever constructed. Somewhere my uncle has a video tape of Looney Tunes that he taped for my cousins and I to watch at our grandparents house when we went there on Saturday nights (memories++) and, since it was taped in like 1987, it is chock full of 80s commercials including several Atari 2600 commercials. I still remember the jingle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 wow.. you all must be old... talking about Ataris and this "Intellivision" thing.... The first game system I ever played was the NES. Now, back to ETM, I'm stuck... so I gotta wait til somebody gives me a hint or they release more info.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a wee lad, I remember wanting an Atari 5200. "Jumpman" seems familiar, although I know I don't own it. I may have played it once. I don't remember what it was like. The worst Coleco game I owned was called Tarzan. It was pretty bad. The Atari 5200 was pretty killer. I knew a kid with one and I got to play all the games he had at the time. But it came out around the time that I really began thinking of spending my money on other things: Girls, cars, guitars, nicer clothes, hair-care products, etc... and I kinda fell out of the video game world totally until I got my first Pentium-class computer in '96 and discovered X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter. I totally missed the whole NES/ Sega trip that I bet most of the people here grew up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I got a Nintendo in 88 I believe, at the age of 6(!). How anyone that young was able to play those games at that age will always baffle me. We got a Tandy 1000 in 89. I didn't get a decent comp until 1998 and I didn't get another console until my xbox in 2002. I missed most of the whole video game thing, since I missed out on everything before 88 really and everything that came after the NES and all the old school PC games.
